The Cnc Workshop Version 2.0: A Multimedia Introduction to Computer Numerical Control

The CNC Workshop workbook is designed to introduce students to CNC and provide them with an opportunity to learn and practice at their own pace. The CBT and software, CNC Workshop with TORCOMP CNCez Java Edition, enforces important concepts and allows students to create CNC programs and test them in a simulated manufacturing environment. The CNC Workshop lessens the dependence on traditional classroom-style learning and maximizes the amount of hands-on CNC programming time available to each student. Using the simulation software allows the student to perform dry runs of all CNC programs in a simulated manufacturing environment. TORCOMP's CNCez Java Edition allows students to define and save their custom machine configurations, as well as the ability to display machined solid models of their programs. By using TORCOMP CNCez Java Edition to test a program, students need to use a CNC machine tool only for final confirmation of a design.

This package covers the basics of CNC programming, including step-by-step coverage of machining processes, fundamentals of CNC, and basic CNC programming concepts. It can be used as a stand-alone package in a hands-on CNC course or can be used as a supplement in a comprehensive manufacturing process or numerical controls course. The book and CD package is an excellent instruction tool for CNC programming and many of the animations and videoclips can be used for classroom presentation.

Features:

This is the only CNC educational package with simulation software that can replace or supplement actual machining experience. Students can learn basic part programming without actually using a CNC mill or lathe.

The simulation software features interactive editing of part programs. The part shape is constantly updated as each new line of CNC code is added or changed.

The flexible workbook and CD format allows students to read from the workbook, view on-screen content, or listen to audio clips, depending on their learning styles and needs.

This package covers the basics of CNC programming with step-by-step coverage of machining processes, an introduction to CAD/CAM, and an overview of EdgeCAM and MasterCAM.

This package contains a review of machining terms and procedures, many exercises and programming examples, and appendices with speeds and feeds and answers to exercises.
